Dear Forum Members,
I am planning to buy a flat in Hyderabad, the problem is that the person who is the owner of the flat has died and is now survived by 3 immediate family members, his wife, son and daughter (both majors). They have a "Surviving Member Certificate" from the "Office of the Deputy Commissioner - Delhi".
My questions are:
1. Is the Surviving Member Certificate sufficient to avoid any claims on the flat in the future? Or do I need the Legal Heir Certificate from the Court?
2. Does the property have to be transferred to the wife's name before I buy it?
3. Is there anything else that I need, to avoid any problems in the future?
Thanks in advance.
Abhi
